A simple, effective method of treating vertigo patients.
Medical treatment of vertigo even today is far from satisfactory. A controlled clinical trial of treating vertigo patients by 1% ephedrine hydrochloride nasal douche has been conducted in 84 patients; 74.3% patients were either completely or partially relieved of their dizziness. The therapy was well accepted by patients and side effects were minimal.
